Britfield and the Lost Crown | C. R. Stewart | Before the Bestseller 10


When you hear Chronicles of Narnia or Harry Potter, you think of the top .001% of fiction books. These are often cited as the pinnacles of success for fiction authors who build something bigger than a book, go on to become major blockbusters, and bring in billions of dollars.

Today’s author is very much on his way to becoming the next Chronicles of Narnia and I could not be more excited to share his story with you.

Chad’s got an incredible marketing mind and has committed to his fiction series in a big way.

In our chat we cover everything from how he’s increased the news-worthiness of his series by adding an educational component to it, how he literally emailed every middle school teacher across the country to speak in classrooms, and how he plans on turning the book into a major blockbuster.

This episode honestly feels like a degree in book marketing. I will warn you it’s a bit of a longer episode but there was so much gold throughout it that I couldn’t help but keep it all.
